Since departing the Marine Corps Tyler has serves in the field of Human Resources and Operations, focusing on the behaviors and trends of the millennial worker in their search for career success. Tyler's extensive training in project management and HR have equipped him with a unique set of skills which are demonstrated in his articulation of HR as a field of processes, in addition to policy. Through his writings and seminars Tyler hopes to bring much needed insight to employees that are struggling with finding satisfaction in their jobs. As Tyler puts it, "Life is too short to continue to give to a company that doesn't appreciate the efforts of its individual contributors, so quit settling down into a toxic culture, and STEP UP towards success!"
